INTRODUCTION
A. GENERAL
In the world of health, measures to diagnose a disease is needed, one of them
using x-rays to diagnose the disease called radiodiagnostic techniques. iagnostic
measures are frequently used !oth in hos"itals and health clinics. #herefore, in
radiodiagnostic techniques there are a $ariety of tests !oth in$ol$ing the !ones,
organs, and tissues in the human !ody. And e$ery radiogra"her should !e a!le to do
the entire examination radiodiagnostic well and s%illfully so that the results can
"ro$ide clear information as a !asis for diagnosing the disease. &ne was a!out the'ialogra"hic or examination sali$ary glands.
'ialogra"hic is the term used for radiological examination of the sali$ary
glands and ducts using contrast media are usually water solu!le iodine. In the
examination 'ialogra"hic used some "ro(ections, the tangential "ro(ection, the
lateral "ro(ection, axial "ro(ection )intraoral method*.

'ialogra"hy is the term a""lied to radiologic examination of the sali$ary
glands and ducts with the use of a contrast material, usually one of the water-solu!le
iodinated media. +ecause of im"ro$ements ii com"uted tomogra"hy )5#* and
magnetic resonance imaging )4 R I* techniques, sialogra"hy is "erformed Iess
often than it once was. 6hen the "resence of a sali$ary stone or lesion is sus"ected,
5# or 4RI is often the modality of choice. 1owe$er, sialogra"hy remains a $ia!le
tool when definiti$e diagnosis is needed for a "ro!lem related to one of the sali$ary
ducts. #he "rocedure is used to demonstrate such conditions as inflammatory
lesions and tumors, to determine the extent of sali$ary fistulae, and to locali7e
di$erticula, strictures, and calculi. +ecause the glands are "aired and the "airs are in
such close "roximity, only one gland at a time can !e examined !y the sialogra"hic
method.
+. ANA#&42
#he three "airs of sali$ary glands "roduce a""roximately 8 liter of sali$a each day.
#he glands are named the "arotid, the su!mandi!ular, and the su!lingual.

a* arotid glands#he largest of the sali$ary glands, each consist of a flattened su"erficial
"ortion and a wedge-sha"ed dee" "ortion. #he su"erficial "art lies
immediately anterior to the external ear and extends inferiorly to themandi!ular ramus and "osteriorly to the mastoid "rocess. #he dee", or
retromandi!ular, "ortion extends medially toward the "harynx. #he "arotid
duct runs anteriorly and medially to o"en into the oral $esti!ule o""osite the
second u""er molar.
!* 'u!mandi!ular glands#he su!mandi!ular glands are fairly large, irregularly sha"ed glands. &n
each side a su!mandi!ular gland extends "osteriorly from a "oint !elow the
first molar almost to the angle of the mandi!le. Although the u""er "art of
the gland rests against the inner surface of the mandi!ular !ody, its greater
"ortion "ro(ects !elow the mandi!le. #he su!mandi!ular duct extends
anteriorly and su"eriorly to o"en into the mouth on a small "a"illa at the side
of the frenulum of the tongue.

c* 'u!lingual galnds#he su!lingual glands, the smallest "air, are narrow and elongated in form.
#hese glands are located in the floor of the mouth !eneath the su!lingual
fold. Each is in contact with the mandi!le laterally and extends "osteriorly
from the side of the frenulum of the tongue to the su!mandi!ular gland.
Numerous small su!lingual ducts exist. 'ome of these ducts o"en into the
floor of the mouth along the crest of the su!lingual fold, and others o"en
into the su!mandi!ular duct. #he main su!lingual duct o"ens !eside the
orifice of the su!mandi!ular duct.

#he "rocedure is used to demonstrate such conditions as inflammatory lesions and
tumors, to determine the extent of sali$ary fistulae, and to locali7e di$erticulae,
strictures, and calculi. +ecause the glands are "aired and the "airs are in such close
"roximity, only one gland at a time can !e examined !y the sialogra"hic method.

'ialogra"hy in$ol$es the following ste"s
a* In(ect the radio"aque medium into the main duct. 0rom there the contrast
flows into the intraglandular ductules, ma%ing it "ossi!le to demonstrate the
surrounding glandular "arenchyma, as well as the duct system.
!* &!tain "reliminary radiogra"hs to detect any condition demonstra!le
without the use of a contrast medium and to esta!lish the o"timum ex"osure
technique.c* A!out 9 or : minutes !efore the sialogra"hic "rocedure, gi$e the "atient a
secretory stimulant to o"en the duct for ready identification of its orifice and
for easier "assage of a cannula or catheter. 0or this "ur"ose, ha$e the "atient
suc% a wedge of fresh lemon. &n com"letion of the examination, ha$e the
"atient suc% on another lemon wedge to stimulate ra"id e$acuation of the

of the contrast medium, if needed. 4ost "hysicians in(ect the contrast
